Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Male.
I observed both male and female incubating the 3 eggs
*******************************
This looks like the female.
During my 2 hour watch they would change nest
duties about every 20 minutes.

Unfortunately a few minutes after taking these photos one of the worst hail storms in there history at Tom Beatty's Miller Canyon B&B hit, wiping out all bird nest, killing all chicks, breaking all eggs in the immediate area. |  |
More new images while at the canyon 09/01/05
Some newer images I took while at the canyon for 15 days June 2005
